Chapter 449 Did He Really Underestimate His Brother?
Wenren Li was lying on the ground half dead, but after hearing Yuan Huaihong's words, he stood up excitedly, but his hood fell off again, revealing a horrifying face.
"Your Highness," he asked anxiously, "Do you... really have any news?"
Li Suining was so frightened that she hugged Yuan Huaihong's thigh and didn't dare to look in the direction of Wen Renli.
Yuan Huaihong was also a little frightened and reminded him coldly, "Put on your hat."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wen Ren Li quickly put on his hat and waited quietly for Yuan Huaihong to speak.
"Today at 3 p.m., the Dongchu delegation will arrive at the palace gate. Besides the crown prince, the visitors will also include..." Yuan Huaihong told Wenren Li and Fuxing the news Li Suining gave her, along with his own inferences.
Both of them were obviously shocked.
Wen Renli couldn't help but ask, "Can His Royal Highness's information... be so accurate?"
"Could it be..." Fuxing also found it incredible, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have his own spies in the Dongchu delegation?"
Yuan Huaihong did not answer their questions, but said to Fuxing in a deep voice, "Don't forget what you promised this prince."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Fuxing nodded in response.
Soon, she and Wenren Li went to the Yangxin Palace together and told the Emperor of Jin what the prince had just said.
Yuan Tianchen was very pleased after hearing the emperor's words. He had received this information in advance, so Dong Chu would hardly gain any advantage this time.
"Fuxing, what reward do you want?" He asked with a smile, "You have made a great contribution this time."
Wen Renli shook the cane in his hand, and he quickly said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the high priest does have a small wish."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Yuan Tianchen said cheerfully, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely not be stingy."
"Your Majesty, the High Priestess is still a little girl after all. During the time she entered the palace, she has become good friends with our young county lady, so..."
Wen Renli said tentatively, "Fuxing wants to go back to the General's Mansion with Li Suining on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year together. In addition...she hopes that General Bai can also go back."
The smile on Yuan Tianchen's face froze a little, and he was obviously hesitant. "That's the case, but Bai Yunfeng is a serious criminal who intends to rebel..."
"Your Majesty can rest assured. The time has not yet come and Bai Yunfeng will not take any other action. Doing this is just to fulfill the wish of the two children." Wen Ren Li persuaded again.
Yuan Tianchen thought about it and quickly nodded in agreement, "Indeed, since the time has not come yet, Bai Yunfeng is not considered a serious criminal of treason. Then let's approve it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!" Wenren Li breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, if it weren't for their predictions, he could feel that Yuan Tianchen still trusted the Bai family very much.
"However, did Fuxing see clearly when Bai Yunfeng would rebel?" Yuan Tianchen asked doubtfully.
"This..." Wen Ren Li was about to say something when he felt the cane in his hand shaking, and it shook three times quickly. This was a signal he and Fuxing had agreed on long ago.
So, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the high priest hasn't asked about this in detail, but it's definitely not recently. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Yuan Tianchen nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work this time, High Priest. When we go to the Bai family to celebrate the New Year..."
"Eunuch Cao..." He looked at the eunuch next to him, "Prepare some gifts for the Bai family. Oh, and let those children go back with us."
"Yes, Your Majesty, your grace is great, and the Bai family will definitely be grateful." Eunuch Cao said flatteringly.
Soon, Fuxing and Wenren Li left the Yangxin Palace together.
On the way back, Wen Renli couldn't help but whisper, "You say... can the information sent by Yuan Huaihong really be so accurate? Is he really connected to Dongchu?"
At this point, Fuxing felt that this was the only possibility.
"If that's the case," Wen Renli couldn't help but get a little excited, "then we really made the right choice in choosing this crown prince. This crown prince of ours should definitely not be underestimated."
Fuxing still didn't say anything. She was a little puzzled. With the emperor and queen's trust and favor for the prince, and the prince's strength, why would the queen still be uneasy?
The two of them didn't say anything else and quickly returned to the National Master's Hall. Yuan Huaihong had already left, and Xiaotuanzi was still waiting there.
"Uncle Imperial Master, Sister Fuxing, how is it? What did uncle the Emperor say?" Li Suining ran forward and asked anxiously.
Wenren Li curled the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that the little dumpling would greet him and continue to call him uncle.
Fuxing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor agreed, and he also allowed your father and your brothers to return to the Bai family to celebrate the New Year."
"Really?" Li Suining almost cried for joy, and his eyes turned red.
"Really." Fuxing was also very happy, and she might have a way to save Bai Yunfeng, but she didn't plan to tell Xiaotuanzi, for fear of making the child happy for nothing.
She planned to discuss this matter with Yuan Huaihong and Yuan Xiaonian.
"That's great. I'm going to tell the Crown Prince and the Second Prince." Li Suining jumped for joy. Just now, when Yuan Huaihong left, he said he was going to find Yuan Xiaonian.
"Okay." Fuxing patted the little guy's head, "Sister will go with you."
"Well, thank you Sister Fuxing." Little Dumpling nodded happily.
On the way to Yingcui Residence, Li Suining asked curiously, "Sister Fuxing, what happened to Uncle Imperial Master's face? Is he sick?"
"It's not an illness." Fuxing thought for a moment before answering softly, "It's his retribution."
The little girl frowned and didn't ask any more questions.
"Little Suining, remember, everyone has to pay the price for their actions," Fuxing's voice suddenly became distant. "Even if God doesn't punish them, someone else will enforce it."
Little Dumpling looked up at Fuxing and she felt that Sister Fuxing was talking about her.
Soon, the two arrived at Yingcui Residence.
When Yuan Huaihong and Yuan Xiaonian heard that the matter was settled, their reactions were obviously different.
Yuan Huaihong was obviously not surprised, just like from the beginning, as if he had known this would be the result.
Yuan Xiaonian was extremely shocked. To be able to obtain information about the Dongchu delegation so quickly, did Yuan Huaihong... have powerful connections outside the palace?
Did he really underestimate his brother?
"Okay, now there is no problem with General Bai, the rest is up to us." Yuan Xiaonian was a little happy. If Bai Yu'an, Bai Shi'an and others could go home together, they would have a lot of helpers.
Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the first day of the new year to have a good meeting with Zuo Sixian's people.
In the next few days, everyone was busy preparing for the New Year and the Dongchu delegation. In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. In the evening, Li Suining and Fuxing left the palace together.
